PiXtend V2 -S- Extension Board

Overview

PiXtend V2 -S- is a programmable logic controller (PLC) based on the powerful Raspberry Pi single board computer. Its numerous digital and analog inputs and outputs allow connections to a wide range of sensors and actuators found in industrial applications and in the Maker scene. The connection to other devices, controls and computer systems is established via standard serial interfaces (RS232, Ethernet, WiFi).

Détails

The "Extension Board" variant is intended for private use and for school institutions which already have a Raspberry Pi B+, 2B or 3B at their disposal. No Raspberry Pi is included in the delivery, it can be bought separately here. But all the components necessary to connect and mount the computer are in the scope of delivery. No soldering is required. This gives you the full PiXtend V2 -S functionality in the form of an expansion board at the lowest price. For the operation you need a suitable power supply, one of the Raspberry Pi variants and a SD card.
